Ups sorry my bad, udev conf files are of cause in /etc/udev.
About evrouter you need this program to re-route the PowerMate events to 
the O_Linux window in Fedora, you can get rpms from Morten's xray 
repository <http://apt.bioxray.dk/rhel/el4/i386/html/index.html>. 
Although it is for Centos4.4 you should be good with recompiling the 
src.rpm  
http://apt.bioxray.dk/rhel/el4/i386/SRPMS.xray/evrouter-0.3.3-1.2.el4.mok.src.rpm
You do recompiling by typing 'rpmbuild --rebuild 
evrouter-0.3.3-1.2.el4.mok.src.rpm' this will build new rpm into you 
RPMS dir (if done as root it will be written to some thing like 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/evrouter-0.3.3-1.i386.rpm).
Now you can install this file 'rpm -ivh 
usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/evrouter-0.3.3-1.i386.rpm'

Jesper

P.S. With evrouter has a lot of other possibilities, as an example it 
can be setup to route mouse scrolls to up/down keys.
